Plant Profile: Fava Beans (Vicia faba)
The fava bean plant has been part of the human diet for a LONG time, possibly since 6000 BCE! It is useful not only as food but also as a great cover crop in winter. The Garden Club grew a large bed of fava beans this past winter — partly as cover crop and partly for harvest. If you have a good fava bean recipe let us know!
